How bad is it? 85 4kq front end damage :(

[Kneale Brownson]

Boy, that's nasty, Thor.   Looks like it had to be something tall like a 
utility box or stake rack on a one-ton chassis.   The hood looks 
sufficiently wrinkled to require replacement.  The grille plastic probably 
nonrepairable=replacement too.   Now you'll find out how good your 
insurance is.
